Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Cheese
- 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
Sauce
- 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- ½ onion, diced
Topping
- 1 ½ cups stuffing mix (such as Stove Top)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Layer Ingredients: Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Arrange these chicken cutlets in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Then, lay the Swiss cheese slices evenly over the chicken pieces to ensure every bite is cheesy.
- Make Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup and milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in the diced onion, which adds flavor and a bit of crunch.
- Pour and Top: Pour the prepared creamy sauce evenly over the chicken and Swiss cheese layers in the baking dish. Sprinkle the stuffing mix evenly on top to create a crispy, golden topping.
- Bake: Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil carefully, then bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the stuffing topping is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Notes
- Ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly by checking the internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
- You can substitute the stuffing mix with homemade breadcrumbs seasoned with herbs if preferred.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or herbs like thyme to the sauce mixture.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow flavors to meld and for easier serving.
